You can use the filters below to either swap out the different iPhone 13 handsets, or set a budget and data limit to suit your needs.
Remember, the price of the phone doesn't actually change if you choose to buy it from a mobile provider. But it will make paying for your new phone more affordable since you're splitting the cost over a repayment period.

The best iPhone 13 plan will look a bit different for everyone. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you out:
Telstra, Optus and Vodafone all offer iPhone 13 plans with varying amounts of mobile data allowances.
However, if you want to pay the bare minimum, you can check Telstra or Vodafone - both are offering the iPhone 13 (128GB) for $30.52 per month on a 36-month repayment contract.
Telstra offers 50GB of data for $62 per month while Vodafone offers 80GB of data for $45 per month (data reverts to 40GB after your first month). Choosing the right plan to go with your device will solely depend on your needs.
Keep in mind Vodafone is known for having the least coverage from the networks, so if you're in a rural or regional area, you may want to look elsewhere.
If you're not convinced getting the iPhone 13 on a plan is the right decision for you, you could consider buying it outright.
Overall, paying upfront is always going to be the cheaper option as you can pair it with a cheaper mobile plan of your choice. However, getting on a phone contract means you can manage your money in easier to pay off instalments.
We suggest doing a further deep dive into the pros and cons of buying the iPhone 13 outright versus on a plan here before making a decision.
The best deal for you will depend on the network coverage you're after, how much data allowance you want and what bells and whistles most match your everyday needs.
Here's a breakdown of what you can get from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
Trading in your old phone will save you some bucks when you purchase an iPhone 13 device from Telstra. The credit that you will get will depend on the condition of your old device.
With a Telstra plan, you can expect:
Optus isn't offering any discounts on iPhone 13 with a plan at the moment. However, an Optus plan does still get some perks you can't get elsewhere:
If the plan features above sound appealing, you can get an iPhone 13 plan with Optus' 12, 24 and 36-month handset repayment plans. Other standard features include:
Just remember that leaving before your repayment period ends means you'll need to pay off the remaining cost of your device.
Trade in your old device when you sign up to any Vodafone iPhone 13 plan to save some bucks. That is as long as the device that you want to trade is in good working condition.
When you pair an iPhone 13 with Vodafone, you'll get:
Keep in mind that you'll need to pay off the remaining cost of your device if you choose to leave early.
If you're not fussed about getting the newer iPhone 14, the iPhone 13 is still a strong phone to consider.
